When choosing a projector for gaming, there are several factors to consider. Here are some important ones to keep in mind:   Resolution: The resolution of the projector is an important factor to consider, as it will affect the quality of the image displayed. For gaming, a minimum of 1080p resolution is recommended, although a 4K resolution would be ideal. Input lag: Input lag refers to the time it takes for the projector to process the signal from the gaming console or PC. The lower the input lag, the better the gaming experience will be. Look for projectors with input […]

A short throw projector is a type of projector that can project a large image from a short distance away from the screen or wall. Typically, a short-throw projector can display an image with a diagonal size of 100 inches or more from a distance of just a few feet away. This makes it ideal for use in small or confined spaces where traditional projectors would require more room to project a large image. Short-throw projectors use specialized lenses to achieve this short projection distance, and they can be either mounted on the wall or placed on a table or […]

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and DLP (Digital Light Processing) projectors are types of projectors that use traditional lamp-based technology. These projectors require metal-halide / UHP projector lamps. Laser projectors use lasers to produce their images. Each type of projector has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it’s difficult to say that one type is universally better than the others.   Here are some considerations to keep in mind when comparing LCD, DLP, and laser projectors: Image quality: All three types of projectors can produce high-quality images, but there may be differences in color accuracy, contrast, and brightness between them. Generally, […]

Written by Correy Pelletier   Projector lamps primarily affect brightness. They are made of white light, which has a rainbow of colors. If you are experiencing color issues, it’s most likely the bulb is not the cause of these color problems.   The most common color problem is a complete washing of one color, such as pink, blue, or red. This problem is typically caused by a faulty prism in the projector or in the lamp housing. The lamp inside the projector projects bright white light, which projects through a series of prisms or pieces of glass that are designed […]

Written by Correy Pelletier   Is your projector not turning on? Have you tried unplugging it and/or turning on the switch?   What are the LED indicator lights telling you? Check your manual to see which combination of lights and colors align with which problem or what one of the colors means. For example, some Panasonic dual-lamp projectors like the PT-DZ780 series have four main indicator lights on the front of it, LAMP 1, LAMP 2, TEMP, and FILTER. If one of the lamp indicator lights is solid red, then it’s reaching the end of its life and must be […]

Written by Correy Pelletier   When you insert your new projector lamp bulb, it’s very bright, but with every use, it gets dimmer in small increments. You won’t notice it in the beginning since the increments are small. Over time and as you use the projector and lamp for many hours, it will start to fade. You might not notice it’s fading and the only way to know the difference is a side-by-side comparison with another projector that has a new lamp.   If you choose to not replace your lamp, over time it will become dimmer. And you may […]

Written by Correy Pelletier   A projector lamp’s life can vary from user to user. Some users might get 1000 hours of life, while others might get 6000 hours of life. This depends on which bulb you’re using and how often you use the projector.   Aside from defective lamps, which account for 2% of all lamps and have a really short lamp life. The average life expectancy of a projector lamp is 2500 hours.   You can prolong the life of your projector lamp in these ways:   1. Environment Run your projector in a cool room, such as […]
